Now you have done some hard stretches I'll show you a little cheat for the F Chord...

Video Lesson

 

F Major 7

The big F chord is a little nasty so until we learn that I want you to check out this little cheat that is easy to play and sounds good.

You MUST listen if you are going to try and substitute this one for a big F chord. Sometimes you can replace a regular F with this chord, sometimes you can't. There is theory behind it, but it's too complicated to go into now, and more important to use your ears to hear if it sounds good or not. If it sounds good, it is good!

It will always work as a substitute for F if your first finger lays a bit flat and mutes the thinnest string, because then you are playing a regular F (the open E string is what makes this chord a Major 7th).

 

D Chord  

 

 

Once you have that under your fingers it's time to go to the mini-bar ;) BC-143 • The A Chord again...
